Alternative splicing encodes functional intracellular CD59 isoforms that mediate insulin secretion and are down-regulated in diabetic islets
6 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Human pancreatic islets highly express CD59, which is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell-surface protein and is required for insulin secretion. How cell-surface CD59 could interact with intracellular exocytotic machinery has so far not been described. We now demonstrate the existence of CD59 splice variants in human pancreatic islets, which have unique C-terminal domains replacing the...
